Heya folks, due to an update issue that was not caught before sync that can result in a broken package manager, we're temporarily blocking updates from being downloaded from the Stable repository. While this issue is being addressed, updates will not be able to be downloaded, nor will new packages be able to be installed if you are using the Stable repository.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and will update you as soon as we have more information.
As an update, we're still working on safely rolling back the problematic update. After that, we have to come up with a safer way to perform the usr-merge for the bin and sbin directories.
We are currently testing a solution to reverting the /bin and /sbin merge. Initial results are promising, but additional testing is needed, and the situation will be re-evaluated tomorrow morning.
Breaking news! Access to the stable repository has been restored! Steps have been taken to ensure that upgrading is once again safe.
If you updated previously, and now your system is broken, you will have to follow the steps in the Boot Rescue article in the Help Center to chroot into your system to fix it. Please see this post on the forum for more information: https://discuss.getsol.us/d/10599-temporary-blocking-of-updates/13
Thank you for your patience and understanding during this event.
Note: As a result of the fixes, eopkg check will fail on a bunch of packages. This is because of the symbolic links for /bin, /sbin, and /lib, and does not actually indicate a problem. This will be addressed at a later time.
